Kasich doubles down OSU Divest seeking on the tuition freeze spot on USG ballot

MITCH HOOPER | ENGAGEMENT EDITOR

SUMMER CARTWRIGHT | SENIOR LANTERN REPORTER

Ohio Gov. John Kasich speaks at an Ohio Newspaper Association conference on Feb. 8 in Columbus.

SUMMER CARTWRIGHT Senior Lantern reporter cartwright.117@osu.edu Ohio Gov. John Kasich remained adamant on his proposed tuition freeze for all public universities and colleges in the state while speaking at the Ohio Newspaper Association annual conference on Wednesday.

Kasich’s proposed plan was originally released on Jan. 31,

however University President Michael Drake told The Lantern prior to its release that he could not, at this point, commit to a tuition freeze, though he didn’t rule it out either. OSU has frozen in-state, undergraduate tuition for five years in a row, with the Board of Trustees’ decision coming in the spring.

“It’s not (Drake’s) choice,” Kasich said.

It’s not technically Kasich’s

choice, either, with the his budget proposal being just that, a proposal. The Ohio Legislature will propose the state’s budget, which will then go to the governor’s desk for a signature, although a veto or line-item vetoes are possible.

Kasich also questioned how long college-aged students would continue to pay for a high-priced college education.

JO North to renovate with deadlifting mat, turf TEDxOSU

prepares for sixth annual TEDx talk

MARLEE STOLLAR For The Lantern stollar.15@osu.edu Ohio State’s Department of Recreational Sports is set to spend up to $75,000 this spring to renovate Jesse Owens North, adding a turf section and a deadlifting mat.

Dave DeAngelo, senior associate director of facilities, said the goal of the renovations is to set the facility apart from other campus recreation facilities and to accommodate different types of training.

The first addition, the deadlifting mat, creates opportunities for group fitness programming and student organizations such as the Powerlifting Club, DeAngelo said.

“Our Powerlifting Club doesn’t have anywhere to go right now, so they will be able to deadlift and do different lifts,” DeAngelo said.

“There is really no place else on campus they can do that.”

Kurt Schooley, outdoor and satellite facilities assistant director,

Renovations are set to replace the old basketball court at Jesse Owens North. said that after the mat is installed, the L-shaped turf will be added.

“Mostly, what you’ll probably see are agility sprint training work,” Schooley said. “You might see some kind of walking lunges — whether they’re with weights, or some kind of farmer-style walk … basically (it) will fill the remaining space from the deadlifting area.”

Both the turf and a deadlifting mat is expected to be added in place of the old basketball court where the diving team’s equipment was previously placed. Once completed, only one basketball court will remain at the facility.

Schooley also said the renovations are to include new line of cardio and fitness equipment.

Tanner Matthews, a first-year in

agricultural systems management, said he works out at JO North regularly and is looking forward to the renovations.

“I’m excited to see the new changes,” Matthews said.

Renovations are expected to be completed by the end of the spring semester.

Student organization TEDxOhioStateUniversity is its sixth annual TEDx event, which is set to take place March 25 from 9 a.m to 2 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom of the Ohio Union. This year the conference is titled “Precipice.”

TEDx events are meant to have the same feel as the parent organization’s conferences, but are self-organized, according to the TED website. TEDxOhioStateUniversity works to feature OSU students, staff, faculty and alumni.

Professor helps manage stress through mindfulness ERIN GOTTSACKER Lantern reporter gottsacker.2@osu.edu Whether it’s homework piling up, an upcoming midterm or an interview for an internship, one thing almost all students can relate to is feeling stressed.

Maryanna Klatt describes stress as feeling like being hit by a hurricane, causing feelings of helplessness amid an onslaught of stressors.

But Klatt said she can help. As a researcher with the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, she studies how practicing mindfulness can reduce stress and therefore improve overall health.

Mindfulness is simply bringing awareness to the present moment, and it’s easy to incorporate into daily life, said Klatt, who’s also an OSU professor with the Department of Family Medicine and the Department of Dance.

“I think there’s three parts to mindfulness,” Klatt said. “The first part is noticing, the second part is being flexible in how you notice stuff and the third thing is cultivating the way that you want to be in the world, but you can’t be the way you want to be in the world unless you notice ‘Oh I don’t like how I’m doing this or

ooh yeah I do like how I’m doing this.’”

When mindfulness becomes a regular part of your day, Klatt said it can then influence stress levels and even physical health.

Klatt researches this mindbody connection by working with groups that are particularly susceptible to stress, such as healthcare professionals.

Specifically, she leads groups through an eight-week stress reduction program called Mindfulness in Motion, which combines yoga, breathing and music to create an atmosphere of reflection.

The groups meet once a week to practice yoga and meditation, and the participants are charged with completing similar exercises on their own for the remainder of the week.

After participating in the program, health-care professionals not only reported feeling less stressed, but an enzyme found in saliva related to stress — salivary alpha-amylase — was found to have dropped within the participants, along with their health-care utilization costs.

Results like these can apply to more than just health-care professionals and can extend to college students as well, said Klatt, who offers several classes to OSU stu-

just happy. You’re free to be.”

For students looking to experience this freedom, Klatt has some practical steps on how to reduce stress. She suggests first determining what you find stressful and becoming aware of how you respond to stress. Then she said it’s important to find out new ways to deal with stress. Simple breathing exercises, she said, are especially effective.

“I see people so stressed out, that it’s like they are missing life and it’s so sad,” Klatt said.

“It doesn’t have to be that way.

(Mindfulness) is available to everyone, we all have the power to access that within ourselves.”

“Mindful Resilience: From the Individual to the Organization” is one of the classes offered to students where they learn how to practice mindfulness, and hear from professionals and workers about how mindfulness is applicable to the workplace.

“I’m not stressed as much, and even when I have a paper and homework all due in like two days, I can acknowledge that I should be stressed and that I have a lot to do, but I’m not actually feeling that panic, that ‘Oh my gosh where do I even start,’” Sacchini said. “And that has made me happier, because when you’re not stressing about the future or maybe mistakes you’ve made in the past or anything like that, you’re

surveillance and imprisonment of Palestinians. Critics of the BDS movement, however, say the measure is financially costly and unfairly singles out Israel, with some going so far to call it anti-Semitic.

Leila Elaqad, a fourth-year in sociology and an organizer for OSU Divest, said this is a campaign to appeal to student’s human empathy, not for them to choose a side on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

“This is not about one issue,” Elaqad said, “The reason we chose specific corporations over others is because of how directly they were involved in human rights violations.”

The text of the proposed ballot measure reads as follows, according to OSU Divest’s website: “Shall the Undergraduate Student Government call upon OSU to cease and/or prohibit any investments in G4S, Caterpillar, CoreCivic, The GEO Group, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise until they are no longer engaged in the violation of human rights and other practices deemed unethical by the Buckeye community?”

OSU Divest led a campaign that ended in a high-profile defeat two years ago, when the group received the number of signatures needed to appear, but was denied a spot on the ballot by the judicial panel because the petition failed to meet submission criteria that is outlined in the USG election bylaws. After the judicial panel tried to put the measure up for a spe-

21st century here — with the way our kids and grandkids gather information — how much longer do you think kids are going to want to pay $60,000, or whatever it is for some of these schools, a year to go to college,” Kasich said. “They can get the same college education provided online.”

He said he hopes universities realize that they must change their ways, or they will cease to exist in the future.

“Either the universities are going to change and implement cost-cutting and innovative ideas, or it’s not sustainable,” Kasich said.

Kasich also voiced support for OSU’s parking-privatization deal with CampusParc. “(Critics of the deal) were out to get Gordon Gee over this thing,” he said. “You know what (OSU) leased it for? A half billion dollars. It shouldn’t have been given a second thought.”

He added that he thinks one way to ensure a lasting university is for universities and colleges to support and promote commercialized research by creating intellectual property policies.

Intellectual property policies govern ownership and disposition of research and creations like inventions, trademarks and copyrights created by college or university staff. Some universities, such as Harvard, have used them them as a way to regulate faculty work, while also promoting commercialized research.

OSU Divest needs 1,895 signatures needed to get on the ballot.

Elaqad said the ability to use petitions through USG elections is important to the student body because it shows that students can get an initiative put on the ballot, and it’s a way for students to stand for a cause.

“Our goals of ethical investments from the university are front and center,” she said. “But, there is also a goal of wanting more of a chance for student voice. A lot of people don’t even know you can get a USG initiative on the ballot.

Two years ago, we were the only one that even tried.”

Gerard Basalla, USG president and a fourth-year in political science and strategic communication, was aware OSU Divest’s

efforts and said he supports any group of students seeking to voice their opinions.

“Divestment is a big issue on college campuses across the country,” Basalla said. “We think it’s cool that students get a voice, and this is their best way to use it. It’s certainly something that a lot of people care about, so we’ll see where it goes.”

Regardless of the events that happened two years ago, Elaqad said students should have a voice in the decision of whether to divest.

“If you don’t want to take a side at all, then we should not be funding these things,” she said. “This is a push for financial neutrality above anything else. I think we can agree we don’t want human rights violations happening with our money.”

“Do you know how much commercialized research comes out of our universities? ... Next to nothing,” Kasich said. “They cannot even have a specific policy on a professor developing some great thing and being able to recoup some benefit if it goes commercial.”

Bilingual books boost literacy at local school ERIN GOTTSACKER Lantern reporter gottsacker.2@osu.edu When Ohio State professor Jill Welch learned six years ago that some of the students at a local elementary school couldn’t read at home with their parents due to a language barrier, she knew just the solution.

Since then, Welch, a professor with the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, has ended every semester of her Honors Spanish Composition class by having her students write short stories in both Spanish and English for bilingual first-graders at Salem Elementary School. This way the first-graders can read the stories at home with their parents, who sometimes only speak Spanish.

The project started when Welch’s daughter, who was student-teaching at Salem Elementary School at the time, told her mom that some of her Spanish-speaking students were not able to read at home with their parents because many of their parents could not read English.

“It was at a time when I was getting ready to start a story-writing chapter in my honors composition class and I said ‘Oh my gosh, I could have my students write stories in Spanish, and then we could translate them, and then it went from there,’” Welch said.

Welch pitched her idea to Celeste Guglielmi, the English as a Second Language teacher at Salem Elementary School, and the two women collaborated to create the Bilingual Storybook Project. This, Welch said, helps college students improve their

Spanish composition skills and have the opportunity to connect with a child in the community.

“We do a lot of talking about culture and reading about culture,” Welch said. “But to provide a real life, meaningful contact in the community, and to use writing to create a product that (bilingual elementary students) value — that’s meaningful to me.”

Guglielmi gives her Spanish-speaking students an “All about me!” form, asking the first-graders simple questions about their best friends, favorite animals and favorite things to do. The first-graders also draw a picture to accompany their questionnaire. The picture can be about whatever the child wants.

Afterwards, Guglielmi delivers these

drawings and questionnaires to Welch, who asks her students from OSU to choose an elementary student based on the drawings and answers.

The college students then write stories about the drawings, often depicting the children as heroes with magical powers.

Kirstie Sippola, a third-year in Spanish and international studies, for example, wrote her story about a little boy who fought off a witch with his magical strength. Sippola said she was inspired by her student’s drawing.

“It looked like there was a witch and spiders and they were in a movie theater with popcorn,” she said.

However, Sippola said, the best part of the project was not writing the story, but

versity curator and a fourth-year in marketing, told The Lantern about one of the speakers he is excited about, a professor who studies autism in children.

“He’s developed a method of using Shakespeare as a means of getting autistic kids to open up and to interact with each other,” Muschlitz said. “There’s lots of barriers to communication with autistic kids and adults, so some don’t like to have physical touch, some don’t like verbal communication, some don’t like proximity. So finding a medium to communicate with all of them equally is really powerful.”

The conference will feature 12 presenters, including the professor. Nine will give lectures, and three will be doing performances with music and dancing. This will be the first year the event takes place in the Ohio Union.

Liv Birdsall, director of communications with TEDxOhioStateUniversity and a thirdyear in English, said she hopes this change will give the audience a different takeaway from past events.

“We’re really trying to incorporate a different kind of feel; something more inclusive, something where people can break out and really have discussions about the talks they’re seeing,” Birdsall said.

The preparations for “Precipice” began last April, right after the 2016 event, “Re-

“At the end of last year, we sat down and were brainstorming words,” Muschlitz said.

“We were stuck on ‘precipice’ because it’s a very visual word. It makes you think about what’s on the other side of the precipice.

What are you on the precipice of? What if our event is the precipice?”

Speakers are selected after applying and interviewing for a slot, although their talks are worked on and changed, with help from TEDxOhioStateUniversity members, in between the time of selection and the event.

“Some people come to their interview with a talk already prepared, and if we select them the first thing we do is start from scratch,” Muschlitz said. “We have to parse down to the root of what they want to talk about, and then develop it from there. We try not to have our speakers prepare anything before we start the coaching process.”

The motto of TED is “ideas worth spreading.” Muschlitz said he hoped the audience can leave “Precipice” more aware of viewpoints that other people might have.

“I think that a lot of times we find ourselves in a bubble where we surround ourselves with types of information and news stories that affirm what we’re already thinking,” Muschlitz said. “And so the purpose of our event is to not just feed what you’re already passionate about. It’s to expand

“All of (the first-graders) were really cute, but I feel like he was especially cute,” Sippola said. “When I read him my story he got really embarrassed, but not in a bad way.”

Ultimately, the project not only helps bilingual first-graders learn how to read, but it also gives the students something positive to look forward to.

“It validates who they are and where they came from,” Guglielmi said. “Here they are surviving in English all day long, day in and day out, and to have something in their native language, that especially their family is going to be able to relate to is very gratifying, and goes a long way.”

Artwork to make the heart work Second Sight Studio takes a stand against gender-based violence through heart-themed artwork

Lord Denney’s Players to give fresh face to a Shakespeare classic

OLIVIA BALCERZAK Lantern reporter balcerzak.13@osu.edu Handcrafted hearts are not a rarity in mid-February, but local artists are making them not for a loved one, but a special cause.

One Billion Rising is a worldwide campaign that started in 2012 to raise awareness about gender-based violence, calling on women to come together on or close to Feb. 14 for “V-day.”

Since 2013, Mona Gazala, gallery director for Second Sight Studio, answered that call and brought the campaign to Columbus by creating the Hearts United for One Billion Rising event.

“Particular to this year, we are bombarded with news stories about things that are going on in the world, and in the country, which is kind of mind-numbing,” Gazala said. “You almost feel helpless.”

People are invited to make a heart of the material of their choice — many choose encouraging messages, statistics or thoughts pertaining to women’s empowerment. The hearts will be hung on the Bellows End school yard fence across from Second Sight Studio in Franklinton from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Gazala said they will leave the installation up overnight.

According to the World Health Organization, nearly one in three women will be a victim of phys-

Artwork made last year for the Hearts United One Billion Rising event.

SARAH UPTON Lantern reporter upton.91@osu.edu “The Tempest” will blow into Ohio and wreck on the shores of Columbus for the next two weekends.

Lord Denney’s Players, a theater group housed within the Ohio State Department of English, will perform William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” at the Columbus Performing Arts Center.

“The Tempest,” which is believed to be Shakespeare’s last independently written play, begins with a wizard named Prospero who raises a tempest to seek revenge on his enemies. The play is a romantic comedy of sorts, using magic and romance to create twisting love and marriage plots as it progresses.

Sarah Neville, founder and creative director of the theater troupe,

said this production of “The Tempest” is nontraditional and focused on being a funnier adaptation with a younger cast than what is usually seen in other productions.

“We have a much younger cast, we have a much younger Prospero, and we have a much funnier show,” Neville said. “This is a more nimble performance of ‘The Tempest’ than maybe the more traditional ones that people are used to seeing.”

The play is directed by Manuel “Manny” Jacquez, a Ph.D. candidate studying Renaissance literature. Jacquez’s dissertation concerns Shakespeare performance, and he focuses on change and development of staging in Shakespeare’s period. He said directing this show is beneficial to his research on the staging of early modern drama.

“Thinking about what the play

ical or sexual abuse in their lifetime.

Gazala said making a tangible art piece can help people internalize social justice issues, such as violence against women.

“The thing about an art project like this is that it gets you into a social-justice issue like violence against women by actually making you feel it, walk around it, touch it, be able to go to people and it helps you to internalize the idea of things needing to be done that might actually help,” Gazala said.

Among those who are contributing to the installation are are local schools, both teachers and

children, artists, residents and organizations including the Columbus Museum of Art, Creative Women of Color and Open Door Art Studio.

After hearing about the project less than a month ago, the Columbus Museum of Art set up a section called “The Modern Woman” within its permanent collection, “The Social Mirror.”

“The works of art are not particularly about women being abused, they’re about women,”said Merilee Mostov, director of inclusive interpretation for the museum.

“It’s something that every woman can relate to.”

COLUMBUS’ OWN

Steven King ready to bring folk-rock back on the road EMMA STEELE Lantern reporter steele.849@osu.edu In 2013, Reynoldsburg, Ohio, native Steven King packed up his car and acoustic guitar and headed across the country. With his sights set on California, King stopped along the way in cities such as St. Louis, Tulsa, Oklahoma and Albuquerque, New Mexico, playing shows where he could before coming back to Columbus.

“I didn’t have any music out or recorded, but I knew some people and I was able to fake it,” King said. “I didn’t want to get into (music in Columbus). I was afraid if I started here, I would get too comfortable and never go out.”

Touring is a familiar scene for King. At age 14 he started traveling with small bands, taking photographs for them. However, after four years, King felt that the photography gig had become too much about money and a job and not enough about pursuing a passion.

“I slipped back into doing music and writing,” King said. “I learned to play guitar when I was eight. At one point I had enough (of photography) and started writing songs.”

Since 2013, King has put out two EP’s, an album and he repeated his solo tour out west in the summers of 2014 and 2015. Each

“I like to start with a melody, but lyrics are the most fun part,” King said. “Lyrics get you excited about the song. You can get really creative and take a lot of time with it.”

King is backed up by a full band — currently consisting of Mitch Rossiter on bass, Daniel Seibert, a fourth-year in percussion on drums, Maddie Ciampa on cello and Jack Doran on piano.

King said he sees his music as folk-based, with some rock and alternative country influences.

Because the variety of musical backgrounds, Rossiter said he thinks it’s hard to box the band into a specific genre.

“Over and over again, Steven has been deemed a ‘space cowboy,’” Rossiter said. “I like to think of our genre as kind of an off-kilter American rock ‘n’ roll band. We all have different styles, so, sometimes it ends up a little all over the place.”

Besides the influences of various types of music, the addition of a band has not changed King’s goals or passions. A traveler at heart, he said he hopes to get the band on the road soon.

“I’m essentially doing what I used to do solo with the full band, because it’s way more interesting to see a full band than just one guy with a guitar,” King said. “I want to get the band on tour. Playing out of town is the best thing I’ve ever done, and the most fun I’ve ever had.”

Rossiter agreed that the next step for King and the band is a tour.

“The goal is to find some bigger support slots for us and get some more press generated so we can get the name and music pushed out as widely as possible,” Rossiter said. “We’re looking to play some larger-scale shows and do a decent-sized run of the Midwest and South.”

King is optimistic about his future and hopes the band is, too.

“I’m not at the point where I can pay everyone (in the band) a lot of money, so their incentive is just to believe in what I’m doing,” King said.

But while King knows the band is taking a chance on him, he’s also had to take an even bigger leap of faith on himself. He acknowledges that the future is uncertain, but he said he knows he’s on the right track.

“Over the past few years, music has been so helpful as self-expression,” King said. “And these small victories, when things go well, it’s the best thing for me because this is what I’m about all the time.”

King’s next show is Feb. 18 at 8 p.m. at the Shrunken Head.

MAX MILLER For The Lantern miller.7499@osu.edu Premium Cloth is one of the newest stores to dot the canvas of Columbus, offering streetwear clothing and shoes.

Premium Cloth, located at 1242 N. High St. in the Short North, has been open only since December.

Co-owner Danny Coleman said the store sells limited quantities of rare shoes and clothes. Customers would usually have to go online to find these specific styles, but Premium Cloth offers an in-person option, he said.

The store is relatively new, but it isn’t the owner’s first time in the business. Coleman also owns Mass Appeal, a streetwear specialty shop in Atlanta. He said he’s had his eyes set on Columbus for a long time. As an Ohioan, he said he enjoys the ability to stay close to home.

“I’m from Toledo,” Coleman said. “I’ve always had my eyes

set on Ohio State, because there is nothing else like it — it’s the college.”

The Short North was among one of Coleman’s desired locations, and he said it’s been a perfect fit for the new store.

“The Short North has such a great vibe to it,” Coleman said.

“Here, I can stay close to the university, but also enjoy all the diversity of Columbus.”

Many brands and styles will be brought in, including Jordan, Adidas, Stussy, Yeezy and Lacoste.

But Coleman said one of the goals of the store is to bring in smaller,

lesser-known brands so customers can discover new brands.

“One of the main points of our store is to share brands you can’t find anywhere else,” Coleman said. “We have some things from popular brands and such, but we don’t have many competitors in our business at the moment.”

Since Premium Cloth is new to Columbus, the employees are still getting to know the city and its clientele. Coleman said they will make changes to inventory to find the right balance.

“We’re tweaking things so we can get the right feel in Colum-

bus,” he said. “These things don’t come overnight — which is why we are here to stay.”

The items the store sells are for people who want to stand out with a clean-cut look, to allow them to look and feel good, said Michelle Coleman, co-owner of the store and wife of Danny Coleman. New designs and ideas come in daily.

“We do everything different around here,” she said. “Our inventory stays diverse, so we can keep our customers on the edge.”

Along the line, Premium Cloth is looking into doing special and seasonal releases, and even the

Mostov said that after visiting the exhibit, visitors are encouraged to join the conversation about women’s rights by writing their thoughts on heart-shaped paper. The hearts will be delivered to Second Sight to be used in the Hearts United art installation.

Returning to the event is the Creative Women of Color collaborative. Leading artist in the project April Sunami said that artists from the organization plan to contribute collaborative pieces for a third year in a row to further their goal of supporting the community through art.

“You can’t disagree with the cause, especially now, I think it’s something that we can all get behind,” Sunami said. “All of the issues related to justice are on the chopping block and it seems like we all need to fight for them. As artists, we need to bring attention to those issues.”

“It’s kind of like a peaceful protest through art,” said studio registrar Claire Smith.

Even though it started four years ago, Gazala said the message is just as powerful, if not moreso, now than it was when it began.

“It’s been timely for the last few years and, unfortunately, I feel like we’re kind of slipping in the fight for equality,” Gazala said. “It’s important to just keep it out there and to basically send a message that we’re behind women who have been affected by this issue and we’re going to show them our support.”

Anyone can contribute artwork, but is encouraged to let Second Sight Studio know beforehand.

The studio is located at 730 Bellows Ave. in Franklinton.

calls for, in terms of the material conditions and demands of staging, it has been very illuminating,” Jacquez said. “Trying to think about issues of performance that the playwrights and the theater companies, themselves, in Shakespeare’s time, would have to figure out is interesting to me.”

Auditions for the show were open to all students on campus, Jaquez said. Mary Grace Thibault, a fourth-year in atmospheric science and anthropology, is cast as Ariel in the production. She said she wanted to participate in a theater production at OSU before she graduated.

“I saw the advertisement for auditions and I haven’t acted since high school, so I really wanted to try it again now that I had the time before I graduated,” Thibault said.

Thibault also said a lot of work went into developing the characters, and she hopes audience members are able to pick up on it.

“When you act out ‘The Tem-

pest,’ you have to start paying close attention to the emotions of the characters and what exactly makes all the characters click,” she said.

Although this production has a more light-hearted approach than more traditional renditions, Neville said people can take away serious themes.

“Here is a play where (Prospero), who’s full of anger and vengeance learns to be more concerned with forgiveness,” Neville said. “He learns to be better than he is, and I think that’s a really hopeful story and it’s one that maybe we could use when people are feeling less than hopeful given other circumstances.”

“The Tempest” will be performed Thursday through Saturday and Feb. 16 through 18 at 7:30 p.m.. at the Columbus Performing Arts Center’s Van Fleet Theatre.

A matinee performance is also offered this Sunday at 2 p.m.l Admission is free for OSU English

majors and $5 for OSU students, faculty and staff. General public tickets are available for $10.

SOFTBALL

Seniors ready to build on success KEVIN HARRISH Lantern reporter harrish.3@osu.edu The Ohio State softball team begins its season this weekend at the Aggie Classic in College Station, Texas, boasting a senior-laden roster eager to build upon last season’s success.

This season, the Buckeyes return 16 letter winners from the 2016 team, which reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2010. That experience will help the team get off to a smooth start, senior right fielder Alex Bayne said.

“That’s going to be huge,” Bayne said. “We have such impact players coming back and with the incoming freshmen and transfers, we’ll be able to pick up right where we left off and not, hopefully, skip a beat.”

Bayne herself is a vital returning piece for the Buckeyes. In 2016, she led the team in RBIs (49) and runs (53) while tying OSU’s single-season home run record with 19. Bayne was named first team

All-Big Ten as well as first- team National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Midwest Region following the season and made the 2017 preseason Fastpitch News Top 50 players list.

The other returning players include five starters, two more all-region selections and most importantly to OSU coach Kelly Schoenly, the entire five-person pitching rotation.

“I think where you will see the biggest significance with returners is on the mound,” Schoenly said.

“We were able to make the postseason with three first-year Buckeyes last season. Having an entire staff with at least one year in the program will be a huge asset.”

One of the team’s returning pitchers is senior Shelby Hursh.

Hursh established herself as the OSU’s ace on the mound last season, leading the Buckeyes in wins (16), strikeouts (199), opponent batting average (.212) and shutouts (four). She was named to the NFCA All-Midwest Region second team after last season and made the 2017 preseason Fast-

pitch News Top 50 pitchers list.

“It’s a really big honor; I was really thankful, but my teammates helped me get there,” Hursh said.

“I wouldn’t have had such good numbers if they didn’t play such good defense and they weren’t there to support me.”

Behind the pitching, the Buckeyes had one of the top defenses in the Big Ten in 2016, finishing the regular season with a .973 fielding percentage, good for second-best in the conference. OSU returns the bulk of that defense, including one of the team’s top fielders in sophomore second baseman Emily Clark. Clark made just two errors in 2016, finishing the regular season with a .988 fielding percentage, and was named to the NFCA All-Midwest Region first team.

The Buckeyes will lean on their experienced core as they face a daunting early-season slate. OSU kicks off 2017 with a 22-game, non-conference road trip with five of those games coming against teams ranked in the top-20 of the USA Today/NFCA Coaches THOMPSON FROM 8

percentage makes him a much more potent threat.

Matta has praised Thompson this season for always being ready to go and bringing the same kind of intensity every night.

“I got my own little routine, just to be physically and mentally prepared,” he said on Tuesday. “I know that this team can’t afford me to have a bad game, and I have to be ready to play every single game. I just try to stay as consistent as possible when it comes to just my mental preparation and just my physical preparation.”

That preparation has led to career highs in nearly all categories except free-throw percentage. His 269 points-scored is his highest output as a collegiate player in his career, with six games still to play.

Against Rutgers, Thompson picked up 15 points and pulled down 13 rebounds. More importantly, Thompson hit five of his six attempts from the charity stripe.

Underneath the rim, OSU has lacked a strong defensive presence apart from Thompson this

“Our scheduling provides us the opportunity to show we belong in the NCAA Tournament,” Schoenly said. “These road trips give us the chance to compete against the best teams in the country, be together as a unit, and challenge ourselves.”

The Buckeyes know there’s a challenge ahead, but they’re confident and eager to prove themselves.

season. With 1.7 blocks per game, he ranks fourth in the Big Ten, and he provides an imposing force underneath the hoop, and even swatted three shots against the Scarlet Knights.

Earlier this year, Minnesota coach Richard Pitino had words of high praise for Thompson.

“He was terrific,” Pitino said.

“He’s probably the most improved player in the conference, in my opinion.”

Before the OSU game against Rutgers, Thompson had posted a 6.1 box plus/minus, up from 2.2 in his previous season. After Matta started rotating Thompson in as much as possible, and eventually in the starting rotation, he immediately began to see results.

Although Thompson still occasionally makes mistakes, his coach remains confident in him to keep OSU on a roll.

“I think when Trevor is engaged, I think he’s as good as anybody,” Matta said. “There’s moments where he can get out of sync, and as long as we can get him back in and he lets us coach

him and get him back into the fold of what we’re trying to do, he’s very effective.”

OSU escapes Rutgers at home Thompson MEN’S BASKETBALL

JACOB MYERS Assistant Sports Editor myers.1669@osu.edu Every Big Ten opponent has presented the Ohio State men’s basketball team with a challenge this season. In the same breath, OSU has struggled to finish teams off when sporting a sizable advantage. Big Ten bottom-feeder Rutgers was no different.

The Buckeyes scraped out a 7064 win over the Scarlet Knights (13-12, 2-10 Big Ten) on Wednesday at the Schottenstein Center on the shoulders of redshirt junior center Trevor Thompson and the shooting hand of redshirt junior guard Kam Williams.

Thompson had 15 points and 13 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season. Williams led OSU with 23 points.

RUTGERS CONTINUES ON 7

In a wildly inconsistent season for the Ohio State men’s basketball team, there’s been one constant for coach Thad Matta and the Buckeyes: redshirt junior center Trevor Thompson.

Thompson was not necessarily expected to be the biggest factor for OSU this season after posting a 6.6 points per game average last season. Originally playing for Virginia Tech his freshman year, Thompson transferred to play in Columbus and had to sit out his first year in Columbus.

In his first year of play, he averaged 17.9 minutes in the 2015-16 season.

This year, Thompson has averaged 10.6 points and a team-high 9.3 rebounds per game. Outside of a zero-point, five-foul performance against Iowa on Jan. 28, Thompson has been one of the biggest driving forces for OSU this year.

Outside of junior forward Jae’Sean Tate, no other player has averaged better than 50 percent shooting from the field and more than 10 points per game. Tate has been more of a scoring threat than Thompson, but the ability of the 7-foot center to convert at the free-throw line at a relatively high THOMPSON CONTINUES ON 7

MEN’S HOCKEY

No. 12 Buckeyes welcome fifth-ranked Minnesota NICK CLARKSON Lantern reporter clarkson.38@osu.edu In a battle of top-15 teams, the No. 12 Ohio State men’s hockey team (13-7-6, 4-5-1-1) hosts No. 5 Minnesota for two home conference clashes this weekend.

The Golden Gophers (17-7-2, 8-2-0-0) enter the series as the nation’s fourth-ranked offense with almost four goals per game, and rank seventh in power play offense. OSU and Minnesota split two games back on Dec. 3 and 4 — a 5-3 OSU loss on Friday night and an 8-3 win the next day.

Since then, however, coach Don Lucia’s squad has won 10 of its last 12 games, and are on a threegame win streak that included a sweep of No. 10 Penn State last weekend.

Between the two units, either side is ranked as one of the nation’s top-five offenses.

Scarlet and Gray associate head

coach Mark Strobel said the Gophers are a different team than 10 weeks ago that presents a lethal offense year in and year out.

Moreover, Strobel said the Buckeyes have the capability to sweep this weekend’s game, but the wins will go to the team that executes and competes for all three periods.

“It’s going to be a skating game, and for us, we have to take away time and space, and frustrate them with playing the body,” Strobel said. “For us, it’s a want, and it’s the ability to compete for 60 minutes and not just 20.”

On the other side, OSU has had a difficult time keeping its opponent off the scoreboard in the first period of games as of late. The Buckeyes fell behind 2-0 and 1-0 in the first period of games against Wisconsin on Jan. 26 and 28, as well as 2-0 and 3-2 deficits in the first 20 minutes of both games at Michigan last weekend.

In light of the slow starts, sophomore forward Mason Jobst said

making sure the team does not come out flat has been a big emphasis this week in order to not give opponents the opportunity to take advantage of the game early on. Making adjustments midgame will be key to success in this series.

“We’ve got to change it,” Jobst said. “We can’t afford to keep digging (ourselves into) big holes.

We can’t get out of them.”

With just 10 games left, the Scarlet and Gray sit in fourth place in the Big Ten standings with 14 points — 10 behind the Golden Gophers, who are in a tie at the top with No. 17 Wisconsin.

As the final stretch of the season begins with six conference points on the line this weekend, Strobel said the team’s focus needs to be set on playing “Buckeye hockey” by getting pucks deep, pressuring the defense and dictating the pace of play — starting with the first game Friday night.

“Every weekend is a big series

come eight o’clock, that we have to take our game to Minnesota.”
